The quest for a casual leather messenger bag is one that every man has considered - Indiana Jones has one! - but he usually drops it when he imagines the tiniest possibility that someone will call it a purse. The word is kryptonite to any guy, but when I encountered the small Indonesian brand of Cravar, I realized that they'd nailed it.
I've been using my F.C. and R.F. bags for years, and they're just the perfect balance of cool and subtle. Check them out!

@cravarbags I'm a 192cm 97kg guy with a big frame, was just wondering which messenger bag would fit me the most. As I have been yearning to own a leather messenger bag that would look great with age and scuffs along the way for the longest time 😅😅 Dark or light brown color preffered. Love you guys' content btw 💪

Best bags and best customer service, hands down. I’ve got two FCs in various sizes, a CO briefcase, two notebook covers, and I just snagged one of the bucket bags, and they’re all super solid. Can’t say enough good things. (Also, just carry what you like and don’t worry about whether or not some insecure Dude Bro thinks it looks like a purse.)

It's a strange time where crossdressers and transgendered people are so elevated in my city, but I still get negative comments, sometimes from members of that community, for wearing a 'purse.' I started wearing an actual purse to mess with those people.

Oof... very strong man-purse vibe from these. I think I could carry one, but you'd have to pay me to do it, not the other way around. I'm betting the twill probably looks a lot less ostentatious.
